The proud nation of Niefelheim recommends seeking refuge in those volcanic wastes. Most of the world is a balmy 40°, and we are out to get a good tan this year.

There appears to be a slight infestation in Sauromatia's capitol, has anyone else seen that? Next month I'm wishing for Blade.

Yeah, that from the AC, but I don't know why my Air Queen got attacked, maybe someone casted Horror seed? got a few horror marked commanders.
Slave to Unreason also tried to kill my pretender, tried is the key word.

And so TC passes into the annals of history, with only their Arcane Nexus sticking around as a reminder of their once vast power.

Good game, Quitti! We had some nice battles. :D

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Indeed we did ;) See you in another games, guys, T'ien Ch'i signing off!

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Indeed, well played, Quitti! Honestly I think maybe you just got a little greedy with the globals, Nature's Bounty, and Nexus both attract quite a lot of attention. Best to cast 1 at a time, and perhaps bribe your neighbors a bit, so you can reap the full benefits before people come to say hi to you. ;)

Oh and that Cyclops was just pure evil. :p I was finally getting -a little bit of- a handle on Hinnom when you came knocking on Fomoria's door. :p My inability to even hope to stop you (plus my stupidity in getting site searching before Thunder Strike), quickly rendered the position utterly hopeless. :(

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Bah, I had R'lyeh as a neighbor - and I think he was thirsting at someones blood anyway - casting a single global would've probably done the same as two ;)

And T'ien Ch'is wonderful variety in magic paths was what made my cyclops so strong - I was able to forge about the best equipment I could think of - and when R'lyeh came knocking on my doorstep, I was able to pump his MR up to 40 :) I don't think even one spell went through to him, no matter what vfb threw at him.

Oh and Jim - you had plenty of almost undefended farmlands - too juicy targets to ignore even with (or perhaps because of) my turmioil3 dominion.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

No, not at all. R'lyeh was just chilling under the waves, and then BOOM! Arcane Nexus out of nowhere. It was that 20% off site that tempted you, wasn't it!?

Your Cyclops was plenty tough. I only killed him by making him rout without a province to retreat to.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Yeah, it was the site. I wasn't sure if the site counts for extra gems in global - I read somewhere that it starts to count extra gems after the "real" cost (150 pearls in the case of arcane nexus), but it lets you cast it with the bonus - effectively wasting your gems/bonussite if you want to have it reinforced against dispels. I'm still a bit intrigued - did anyone try to dispel that nexus at any point? It probably got me over way over 2500 pearls in the time it was up.

Re: World in Crisis - Started
 

Out of curiosity, how many gems did you use anyway?
